Ah, learn something new every day. > Confluence is also a fairly heavily used enterprise wiki. I have never met a Confluence environment in the wild; overall user statistics I am aware of, and my personal experience, are that MW, Twiki, and Sharepoint dominate actual usage. If you have better stats, I'm all ears. I am not in any way a Confluence opponent, and a couple of people I respect a lot like it, but I've never found an actual user out there. -- -george william herbert george.herb...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
